BGMI provides a better gaming experience with a wide range of game modes and realistic graphics. The sound optimization and in-game mechanics in BGMI are also far better than PUBG Mobile Lite. PUBG Mobile Lite is a better option if players have a 2 GB RAM smartphone.

The smoother graphics negate the lag and frame drop issues that gamers often face with BGMI. Although BGMI’s low-spec resource pack does promise decent performance on low-end phones, PUBG Mobile Lite is still a better option.
